In the eyes of ordinary people, Fuyuki City has always been a city plagued by disasters, whether it was gas explosions, robbery and murder incidents, child abductions and killings, or mass fainting of students and teachers.
Among these, the most impactful was an unexplainable massive fire that occurred in Fuyuki City many years ago, which resulted in the loss of many ordinary lives and sent a young child down a path of One Goes Without Return.
Honoka Academy, due to the presence of the protagonist Emiya Shirou and many Masters who appeared in the Fifth Holy Grail War, is considered the most disaster-prone part of the already disaster-ridden Fuyuki City.
And today, even Fuyuki City, where the extraordinary are distant, will surely usher in a day of nuclear peace.
After Sakura left, Kisaragi Rin came here. With the persona of Matou Shinji in this world, he had no one he needed to greet, which gave Kisaragi Rin an excellent observation space.
"Tohsaka Rin is still in pigtails; looking at her meager figure, she probably hasn't been replaced by a player."
Kisaragi Rin observed a pigtail girl who was standing at the school gate checking students and made his judgment.
This is the real world, so the appearance of characters naturally couldn't be exactly the same as in the anime.
Kisaragi Rin's method for identifying acquaintances was basically based on hair color, eye color, body type, identity, and clothing style. The pigtails, plus the way she looked at him, confirmed it was Tohsaka Rin.
After the check, Kisaragi Rin was about to leave when Tohsaka Rin, frowning, called out to him and asked, "Why isn't Sakura here today?"
"Grandpa's body had some issues; she took Grandpa to the Hospital."
Kisaragi Rin explained, letting Medea give her a psychological cue beside him so she wouldn't overthink the truth of the matter or disturb Sakura via phone.
"I understand."
Tohsaka Rin nodded, asked no further questions, and continued checking documents for the students behind her.
"Medea, have you felt anything special in the school?"
Kisaragi Rin asked Medea, who was looking around the school's scenery with a deep frown.
"I haven't sensed any magical means, but the mental fields of these students are not quite right; there are traces of having been distorted in a short period of time."
Medea glanced at the students in the school and explained to Kisaragi Rin.
"In that case, I'm a bit reluctant to go in."
Kisaragi Rin stopped at the school gate, not going in directly, but waiting for Yukinoshita Yukino to arrive with Saber.
Kisaragi Rin had an assassin, a mage, and a healer with him. If he added Saber, a warrior, no matter what the situation in the school, it would be safer to go in.
Soon after, Yukinoshita Yukino arrived at the school with Saber and spotted Kisaragi Rin standing at the school gate.
"Is there a player inside?" Guessing the reason, Yukinoshita Yukino confirmed with Kisaragi Rin.
"That's right." Kisaragi nodded and added, "If the enemy player is weak, I'll have Medea cast a crowd-dispersing spell and directly eliminate him here."
"No problem, Saber will stay by my side."
Yukinoshita Yukino agreed as a matter of course. Fuyuki City isn't exactly a scenic place. If it were a normal Fuyuki City, she could still gain some additional magical benefits.
In this Fuyuki City, where there is no extraordinary power and one cannot leave, why stay here instead of finishing the game quickly and returning to the Main World?
The Heroic Spirits were invisible in their spirit form, and Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino walked towards the campus.
The surrounding students were indeed as Medea had said, their mental states were not quite right.
They walked aimlessly, stopping occasionally, their eyes constantly following the direction of the crowd, seemingly searching for something.
Seeing Fujimura Taiga, who Yukinoshita Yukino was Disguise as, they showed no intention of greeting her.
"The Caster of the Holy Grail War has already been summoned by me. I wonder what class is influencing this situation."
If it were a normal Holy Grail War, then certainly only Caster would have such an effect, but Medea had already said it wasn't a magical influence, so it could only be power brought by a player.
Following the crowd, Kisaragi Rin found that their common focus of attention led to Matou Shinji's classroom.
A man wearing glasses walked out of the classroom, instantly causing a commotion among the students and teachers.
"I'm about to start class, everyone please go back for now, don't hinder the students' normal lessons."
He looked at Kisaragi Rin, clapped his hands, and urged the crowded people to leave, unconcerned about exposing the Command Seal on the back of his hand.
"Is he provoking us?" Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kisaragi Rin somewhat strangely, "It seems this is the player who came to hunt you down. What kind of grudge do you have with him that he's unwilling to even wait?"
"How would I know? Didn't I just kill a Kibutsuji Muzan? The equipment I picked up doesn't seem that valuable to him."
Making eye contact with this player and feeling that his five-dimensional attributes were completely on par with his own, Kisaragi Rin grumbled as he answered Yukinoshita Yukino's question.
Just like a martial arts Master can tell if someone else is a Master, when intelligence reaches a certain level, even without Skills, one can somewhat sense things like killing intent, fighting intent, and threats, which are more abstract.
Kisaragi Rin hadn't expected to be able to hide as an ordinary person, but he hadn't expected to face that player so quickly.
According to the common sense of most movies, shouldn't one defeat other enemies along the way before facing the final Boss?
Sure enough, movies and such are all lies.
Including the previous Apocalypse of Academy and Demon Slayer, the game versions Kisaragi Rin participated in were always the Paradise Express Edition.
Since he had been discovered, Kisaragi Rin exited Medea's magic effect and displayed his Command Seal, responding to his provocation.
He pushed up his square-framed glasses with his finger, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he turned his back and returned to the classroom.
"This isn't just a matter of provocation, but rather he completely looks down on you, Master?"
Medea was somewhat pleased with Kisaragi Rin's discomfiture, mocking Kisaragi with her words, but her actions didn't stop. Magical power surged forth, a power comparable to that of a sorcerer spreading around, and the crowd-dispersing magic was instantly activated.
The students and teachers in the school, who had originally been in turmoil because Soichiro Kuzuki came out, all turned their bodies, influenced by the magic, and began to leave the school grounds in various ways.
"My first battle in another world, Master, Lily will do her best!" Lily hugged Kisaragi Rin's arm and said somewhat shyly.
Medusa took out her chained short swords and stood with Saber.
Seeing the four Heroic Spirits who appeared in place, Yukinoshita Yukino's previously stern face, which she had maintained upon seeing the enemy player, once again fell into confusion.
"Wait a minute, who is this Heroic Spirit?"
